This should have won - it's lovely. It's not a stitch together comp unlike some of the others ie the butterfly with the legs all wrong for flying. Also - it's ALIVE (if a tad cold) unlike the winner with the twisted in death legs and the inanimate eyes.......

this photo was taken on the banks of a river..Time
At dawn..Lighting
I used a mixed lighting, brightening the fly with dual rear-curtain flash and LED panelEquipment
Nikon D3, nikkor 105 Micro, extension tube, tripod Manfrotto, head Manfrotto 405,cable release, nikon Sbr 200, led panel Manfrotto..Inspiration
love for macro and the biodiversity of the area where I liveEditing
on this shot I made an adjustment of contrast, sensor cleaning, and adjusting the white balance and colorIn my camera bag
in my bag may not always be Nikon D3 or D4, Nikkor 24/70, Nikkor 70/200, Nikkor 105 Micro..Feedback
try to get the best light in the morning, take advantage of the low temprature morning to photograph insects when they are still properties .. always photographing subjects in their natural environment ..
